EXT. PARKING LOT

Dwight is locking up his car when suddenly Pam
bursts through the doors and runs towards him.

PAM
Dwight! Dwight! Oh, I am so glad
you’re here!

DWIGHT
What happened now? Did Kevin get
locked in the bathroom stall again?

PAM(getting to Dwight)
No! It’s Michael!

Dwight flings Pam aside who looks at the camera,
sort of amused. Dwight runs to the door, the camera pursuing.

DWIGHT(yelling)
Michael! Where are you?!?

Dwight enters the lobby and pounds on the elevator
button. He gets impatient and takes the stairs.
The camera follows but Dwight outdistances it.

DWIGHT(offscreen)
Michael!

INT. THE OFFICE-MICHAEL’S OFFICE

Jim is standing at Michael’s door, looking very
concerned as he peers into his office. Just then
Dwight bursts through the main doors and turns the
corner towards Jim.

DWIGHT
Where is he? What happened?

JIM
Dwight, he’s locked himself in his office.
He’s sort of crying and muttering to
himself. He won’t respond to me. I’m really frightened!

DWIGHT
Alright, alright, get out of the way.
I’m trained for just this sort of
emergency, you’re not.

Dwight moves Jim aside and looks through the door.
Jim smirks at the camera and then at Pam who has
just entered.

DWIGHT(to the door)
Michael? Michael, buddy? What’s
going on?

We see “Michael” sitting at his desk with his
head down on his desk, his arms around his head.
We hear soft sobbing coming from him.

DWIGHT
Is there a problem at home? Did… did
Jan go more crazy? Michael… talk to me!

There is more sobbing from Michael. We then see
rapid shots of Dwight trying to pick the lock, then
banging and pulling on the door, then screaming
through the blinds on the window and then finally sit-
ting with his back to the door, knocking his head
against it.

DWIGHT(muttering)
Spock… Spock…

JIM AND PAM TALKING HEAD

PAM(laughing)
I have an art classmate that does window displays
down at Boscov’s. And she mentioned how she has access to these great dummies…

JIM
And so do we.

PAM
Yes.(laughs) So, uh…

JIM
So, Pam, genius that she is, dreams up this
whole prank. (laughs) And, uh… it’s brilliant.
The toughest part for me…
(holds up small digital recorder)
was recording myself sobbing for an hour…

PAM
Especially with me trying to make you laugh.

JIM(shaking head)
So unprofessional…

Both laugh.

INT. THE OFFICE-MICHAEL’S OFFICE

Michael comes in through the main doors and turns
the corner to find Jim and Pam covering up laughs at
Jim’s desk and Dwight still seated against his door.

MICHAEL
Hey… what’s going on, my peeps?

Dwight stands, obviously confused. Michael peers
through the window of his office.

DWIGHT
Michael! How…(glares out Jim and Pam)

MICHAEL
Wow… Is that me in there?

Jim and Pam walk off, snickering. A fuming Dwight
stares at them as they leave.
